BELLS AND CANNONS.

The Early Manufacture of These Arti cles
in Abingdon, Mass.
It is not generally known that the
first Westinghouse bells made in this
country were cast in the town of Alb
ington. About 1869 deserter from the
British army, named Baltimore, reached
that town in the course of his wander
ings. He was bell founder by trade,
and was employed by Colonel Aaron
Hobart in this business. The air fur
mace in which the bells were cast was
in what is now Whitman. The first
bell made was used at the old Congre-
gational church. The bell weighed
nearly one thousand pounds, and when
it was being cast Mr.. Hobart tossed
fifty silver dollars into the melting
mass to give tone to the bell. After
years of service the old bell cracked
and was recast.
Mr.. Hobart also began the manufac-
ture of cannon and cannon balls about
the commencement of the revolution
ary war, and was the first person in
the country who introduced and con-
Quoted the business. Owing to the
lack of experience, and the practice of
casting in sand instead of clay. he was
unsuccessful at first and sustained con-
siderable loss. In the course of time
however, the business was better un-
derstood and he then carried it on
largely and proftably. The cannon
were cast hollow, and afterwards bored
to make the inner surface true and
smooth. At the present day they are
cast solid.-BoSt07a Globe.

HOW GEORGE FLUNKED.

A Good Chance for a Loving Young Man
With Supply of Sand.
They came up stairs into dentists
Office yesterday. They were lovers.
She had her Grecian jaw tied up in a
handkerchief, and one of her pearly
molars was aching away with Fl teen-
horse power. He was pale, and little
shivers ran up and down his back.
"Now, George, you said you would. !"
she observed as the dentist approached.
George turned paler yet, and his chin
wouldn't hold still to be wiped off. He
had rashly promised his daisy that if
she would consent to have that aching
tooth drawn he would have sound
molar extracted. just to prove to her
that it wouldn't hurt.
"Now, George" she continued, as
she laid aside her wrap and bonnet
"I'll have it out in one moment, :"
added the dentist as he arranged his
chair.
Would George fiunkp Shivers seized
him. His hair crawled. His knees
wouldn't stand still. He braced him
self up and tried to smile, but his legs
wobbled. his smile went down behind
his collar. and with groan of despair
he turned and clattered down stairs.
She will be lonely for time, but she'll
hide it from the world while she looks
out for chap with some sand to him

A Republican Surrender.

The interesting feature of the law for
counting the electoral vote is the con-
cession of the principle for which the
Democracy contended in 1876 and
which the Republican party leaders
denied. Under the law as now
fixed there is no possibility of the
President of the Senate claiming,
as Senator Ferry did, to be bigger
man than both Houses of Congress and
all the State governments combined.
The two houses meet in joint conven-
ton and the President of the Senate
presides. But he has no other duty or
function but to open the returns and
announce them. The two houses do
the passing upon them. If there is
only one return from State, it is to be
counted. If there are two, that one
will be counted which is approved by
the highest judicial authority in the
State. If there is no such approval,
the return, with the Governors sigma
ture, is to be counted; and, if the Gov
ernor's authority is questioned, the
vote will be rejected unless both houses
separately agree to count it.-Detroit
Free Press.

The Act Has Come To Stay"

An illustration of the progress of the
principle of Civil-Service reform is to
be found in the action of the House
Committee of Reform in the Civil-Serv-
ice, which reported favorably a bill
providing for the increase of the sala-
ries of the Civil-Service Commission
ers. At present the Commissioners re-
ceive salary of $500 year each.
The bill would increase, their sal
aries to 900. Some of the comments
of the committee in reporting
the bill are of interest. The committee
says that when the Civil-Service act
was passed it was regarded merely as
tentative, and it was believed that the
Commissioners would not have very
much to do. Now, however, the COM
mission has become one of the institu-
tions of the country, and, the commit
tee urges, it is important that the best
talent should be placed at the COM
mand of the President. Under the
present salaries, as is well known, men
who are conspicuously desirable for
membership in the commission could
only accept the office at a pecuniary
sacrifice.

No Magnetism" There.

1t was big blunder the Republican
managers made in announcing that
Blaine would be present at the late
banquet under the auspices of Colonel
Atkinson's club. They knew, of
course, that he would not come; and
there was, therefore, a kind of false
pretense in announcing him and in
ducing the faithful to squander their
hard-earned two-dollar bills in vain ex-
pectation. But worse than the false
pretense was the blunder 1t turned
what otherwise might have been very
tidy feast into a cold and lifeless thing.
Men who would have been very well
pleased under ordinary circumstances
to hear Senators Hawley, of Connect
icut, and Palmer, of this State, and
who would, when sufficiently 're-
freshed," have tolerated even Congress
man Boutelle, found the entertainment
stale, fiat and improbable, because
they contrasted it with the might have
been.

The blunder would have been less
serious if the managers had been play
ing for the gate-money, SO to speak.
They undoubtedly sold more tickets
than they would if Blaine had not been
down in the hills. But it was not
money they were after. They wanted
enough of that to pay expenses, of
course, but chiefly they were after
votes. And it is as voters that the
guests have been injured. It is as vot-
ers that thay will resent the deceit and
delusion to which they have been sub
jected.

managers of the e. o. p. that it pays
to be honest. But it does.-Detroit

Not a Charitable Institution.

Che Presidents veto of the bill ap-
propriating ten thousand dollars for
the relief of the sufferers from drought
in the western part of Texas will meet
the ready approval of all citizens who
care whether the constitution is OBJ
served or not The objections to this
petty steal are the same as those which
were urged against the bigger steal
proposed in the interest of pauperism
under the name of dependent soldiers
pensions. 1t is a measure of charity
and nothing else, and if the principle
involved is to be recognized in Ma
tional legislation absolutely no limit
could ever be placed upon the prodi-
gality of Congress. That the farmers
in some portions of Texas are in need
of assistance is not questioned, but the
National Government is not the place
to 60 for it.
When farmers who are suffering
from the effects of drought can secure
help from Congress by application,
then anybody who has been un-
fortunate in business and is in distress
may do the same. Great fires, floods,
epidemics, tornadoes, boiler ex-
plosions, reaper accidents, coasting
casualties, ship-wrecks, and every
thing under the sun calculated to
arouse the sympathy of the public will
be ample excuses for legislation in the
interest of the victims. The Washing
ington Government is not vast
charitable institution, and was never in
tended as such. The Congressman who
are ever ready to vote away money on
applications of this character are either
stupidity ignorant of the fundamental
laws of their country, or they are will
fully and outrageously unmindful of
them. The veto. may serve to bring
members to clearer understanding of
their duty. Chicago Herald.

THE SOUTHERN "ouTRAGE."


The Republican Party Going Rack to the
Old Days When tho South Was But So
Much Material for Campaign Thuu-
der"
There is an ancient fish-like flavor in
the announcement that sub-commit-
tee of the Senate is investigating tale
of outrage in Texas. Measured by the
calendar it is not SO long since an in
vestlgation of this kind formed one of
the relaxations of every session of Con-
gress. The result was never any thing
practical. The most that was achieved
was more or less picturesque exhibi-
ton of Southern manners and customs
and the manufacture of campaign
thunder.n
It is proof how fast the world
moves that the present investigation
should have so antiquated an air. 1t
may be proof also how slowly the
Senate moves that the majority of its
members should imagine that there is
any public or party purpose now to be
achieved by an investigation of this
sort. Senator Hoar by some mischance
does not figure on the committee,
where his zeal and his simple faith that
a great work was to be accomplished
by the investigation would make him
Invaluable as a survival and reminder
Of a by-gone state of things. His place
is taken by the junior, now soon to be-
come the senior, Senator from New
York. Mr.. Evarts is by no means SO
familiar an object as Mr.. Hoar in the
attitude of brandishing the torch that
is to fire the Northern heart. But then
Mr.. Evarts's political sagacity impels
him to place himself boldly on the
safe side of an issue of some
kind, and there are SO few issues
about which he can be reasonably GER
tain which the safe side is. He has
upon different occasions planted him
self firmly on both sides of the great
lard-cheese and suet-butter issue,
though one of these committals was
professional and perhaps does not
count Upon silver and Civil-Service
reform and other topics of current in
terest upon which men differ, he has
avoided disfavor by maintaining
silence. But there can be no dissent
from the proposition that outrages are
outrageous. Mr.. Evarts may shed the
last word of his vocabulary in. defense
of that proposition without running
the least risk, and it is to be expected
that the subject matter of this investi-
cation will afford congenial theme
for the eloquence so often obstructed
bv consideration of the uncertainty
of human affairs. =. Times.
